2) A researcher is interested in studying whether or not student athletes drink more alcohol than the college students in general. The average number of drinks per week a college student drinks is 6.94 drinks (SD = 3.4). What we conclude if we selected a sample of 40 student athletes and they drank an average of 8.25 drinks? What does the distribution of sample means for this scenario consist of? Explain your decision using the distribution of sample means in your explanation

Solutions

Expert Solution

This is a Z sample test for one population mean.

Here we have to test that student-athletes drink more alcohol than the college students.

I.e the hypothesised mean under test is 6.94 and population standard deviation is

We will consider and assume that the significance level is 0.05

Hence we have evidence to conclude that student-athletes drink more alcohol than the college students.

We have assumed that the sample distribution is normally distributed with mean 8.26 drinks and standard error =

Scenario: Imagine you are a researcher who is interested in studying whether sleep deprivation leads to increased reaction times (i.e., being slower) when driving. You randomly select a sample of 30 licensed drivers. Fifteen participants are randomly assigned to get 5 hours of sleep for three consecutive nights. The other 15 participants are randomly assigned to get 8 hours of sleep for three consecutive nights. For the purposes of this Assignment, assume that all participants sleep exactly the required amounts....

Question text A researcher is interested in whether the attractiveness of the instructor influences student attendance at the statistics lab. The independent variable is the attractiveness of the lab instructor (assuming three instructors are of the same gender and are equally competent). The dependent variable is the number of times a student attends statistics lab during one semester. There are three groups with data: Group 1(unattractive instructor): 20, 13, 9, 22, 21 Group 2: moderately attractive instructor: 24, 27, 25,...

A researcher is interested in whether the phonics method of teaching reading is more or less effective than the sight method, depending on what grade the child is in. Twenty children were randomly selected from each of three grades: kindergarten (K), first grade (1), and second grade. Achievement was measured in terms of reading comprehension where higher scores indicate better comprehension. Within each grade, 10 children were assigned to each of two methods of teaching reading - phonics or sight....
